Central was once a powerhouse in football in 6A, but due to modern segregation they have fallwn badly. I think they won it all in 4A a few years back

Due to desegregation laws, every child living in the city of Tuscaloosa all went to one high school, Central.
About 15 years ago, Tuscaloosa was able to be qualified to have multiple high schools. Two more were created: Bryant High in East Tuscaloosa, and Northridge High in North Tuscaloosa.
Central was left where it always was near Bryant Denny on 15th Street.
Obviously, the number of students dropped drastically. Further, Central now consists of kids from West Tuscaloosa. Let me put it this way: Central probably has a very large percentage of kids on free lunch.
With this,Central no longer has the entire community support.
An excellent high school program needs support from affluent folks and quality athletes from all walks.
